Paintings - John Ettwein

John Ettwein
(1721-1802) and his wife came to America in 1754. Their portraits were
painted by a fellow traveler, John Valentine Haidt, supposedly during
the voyages.

During the Revolutionary War, Ettwein was the chief spokesman to the
Continental Congress and other officials on behalf of the Moravians in
Pennsylvania. He was consecrated a Bishop in 1784, and became head of
the governing board of the Moravian Church in America.
